governor romney says we should replace it. i'm just going to repeal it, but we can replace it with something. but the problem is, he has to describe exactly -- what exactly we'd replace it with, other than saying we're going to leave it to the states. the fact of the matter is that some of the prescriptions that he's offered, like letting you buy insurance across state lines, there's no indication that that somehow is you to help somebody who's got a pre- existing condition be able to finally buy insurance. in fact, it's estimated that by repealing obamacare, you're looking at 50 million people losing health insurance at a time when it's vitally important. >> let's let the governor explain what you do if obamacare is repealed. how would you replace it? >> well, actually, it's a lengthy description, but number one, preexisting conditions are covered under my plan. number two, young people are able to stay on their family plan. that's already offered in the private marketplace. you don't have to let the government mandate that f

look, the fact is governor romney's numbers do not add up. i had to spend time last night trying to pin it down. the only way to pay for $5 trillion in the tax cuts and $2 trillion in the defense spending that the military says it does not need is by asking the middle-class to pay more. i refuse to do that. i refuse to ask middle-class families to give up their deductions for owning a home or raising their kids just to pay for another millionaire's tax cut, just to pay for more tax cuts that we cannot afford. i will never turn medicare into a voucher. governor romney doubled down on the proposal last night, and he is wrong. no american should have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. they should retire with the dignity they have earned. we will perform and strengthen medicare for a long haul, but reducing the cost of health care, not by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more, and we will keep promise of social security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it. we will have a chance to talk about wh

governor romney talked about a voucher program. president obama's affordable care act doesn't offer a long-term fix to medicare. so what is your plan to keep medicare solid while not forcing seniors to fend for themselves? >> for me, medicare is not an es ter rick debate. my mom who worked in the factries of new jersey who worked hard to get us in the middle class. she was fighting alzheimer's, medicare was her healthcare security. that's why under the affordable carry act we extended the life of medicare until 2024 and thotes why we will continue to work to look at various proposals that will continue to extend the life of medicare. some of what we did is beginning to eliminate the waste fraud and abuse. that's part of how we extended medicare by stopping overpayments to insurance companies. and also -- i don't know that bill gates need medicare. so maybe we have to look at what type of means testing should be considered to ensure that the life of the program continues to expand. but we've already worked to insure its expansion. >
